AFPF has made a huge impact to empower the girl child in the rural Areas of Africa more so in Uganda by educating the girls and their families. I believe that education is the best gift someone can offer because it will help you throughout your life time while on earth.
Being part of the team that is dedicated to the cause is what draws me to this charity. They are as committed and results oriented to see change happening. The community of donors are friends which makes everyone welcomed with a sense of belonging with a common cause to change rural Africa. The strategy, planning, and giving is done collectively with the donors so that they are part rather than the means.
I took a group of high school students out to visit the URDT girls school this summer. The program that has been put together helps these girls through empowering the total person. Not just giving them the academic and sustainable farming skills, but also building self knowledge, health, communication skills and world view. I saw first hand the positive changes this program was having for students, their families, and whole communities. We learned from and with their students and my students are forever changed and challenged to go out and be real change agents in the world
